I haven't used my old medium format camera in awhile and I felt it needed some air. Last week as part of a meetup group, 'Vancouver Photo Walks'; 50 of us wandered around the old fishing port of Steveston settled by Japanese salmon fishermen a century ago on a site used by first nation fishermen for probably thousands of years before them. Perched on the banks of the mighty Fraser River, Steveston is now a great place to wander, share a meal or an ice cream, but the shadows of the abundant salmon runs of the past still haunt the area...




The great cannery buildings are still there leaving us some sense of what came before us...

Bronica ETRS, 150mm F3.5 lens, Fuji velvia 100 film
The colour saturation and depth of the larger negatives even leap off a computer screen, just image projected images filling the living room wall. All this from camera equipment worth probably less then $500.00
